Gekos are the smallest and lightest waterproof GPS units on

the market-inexpensive, with sleek designs and simple operating systems.
With its sturdy, dark-gray case, the
Garmin Geko 301 GPS Unit 010-00319-00 packs an
amazing amount of functions into its
slim frame. It has all the features of the
Geko 201, plus an
electronic compass and a
barometric altimeter. The
compass provides bearing information while you're standing still, and the
altimeter determines your
precise altitude and provides a
12-hour pressure-trend tool for gauging changing weather conditions.
The
Geko 301 also includes
five interactive games that transform the
great outdoors into a
virtual board game, including the new
Gekoids, which takes advantage of the
electronic compass. You can also enjoy a good workout while chasing a virtual lizard in
Geko Smak, match symbols in a grid version of
Memory Race, navigate to reference points without crossing one's trail in
Nibbons, and collect symbols along a path in
Virtua Maze.
